My wife and I were on our honeymoon and thought this would be a great place to stay before going on a cruise for a week. We made our reservations online for a one bedroom w/ a king sized bed, etc. However, when we arrived to the hotel, they were giving us two queen sized beds. When I told the... more

The positive things about this hotel are the excellent location next to the harbor, the nice staff, a good breakfast, easy parking, and easy to find from the highway. Everything was very clean. The bedding is not "brand new" like it looks in the photos...but it is still very clean. The building is older than I expected from looking at... more

This Hotel is on the busy Coast Road in Newport Beach C.A. My Business meetings were in the Irvine area. I was a little cautious as the Main PCH passes right by the front door.
